Interra Realty brokers $2.15M sale of Edgewater apartment building

Interra Realty announced it has brokered a $2.15 million sale of a multifamily building in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. Located at 6203-09 N. Ravenswood Avenue, the 12-unit building was recently renovated by the seller, who purchased it as part of a bankruptcy sale in 2016.

“Our seller was able to capitalize on the investment they made in bringing this building up to the market standards for this neighborhood,” said managing partner Brad Feldman, who brokered the transaction along with director Adam Saxon. “And because the building was 92 percent leased at sale, it was an ideal addition to the buyer’s local real estate portfolio.”

The rehab added condo-quality finishes, in-unit laundry and other in-demand features to the two-bedroom, one-bath units and improved the building with a new roof, plumbing, electrical and windows. The post-renovation sale price of $2.15 million represents an average of nearly $180,000 per unit.

“The property offered a gross rent multiplier of less than 10 and a capitalization rate of 7.5 percent, metrics that are difficult to find in this area,” said Saxon. “As a 1031 exchange, this sale demonstrates our ability to assist buyers who are looking to redeploy capital in areas with continued runway for rent growth.”
